zerofk,

Apparently, they didn’t know it by heart. If they had, they wouldn’t have had to spend all that time searching.

zerofk,

Agreed, koala friend. Agreed.

zerofk,

Rewind.

zerofk,

Exactly this. My small Reddit communities had a few posts per day. The equivalent on Lemmy have a few per year. Still, I don’t miss them enough to go back.

zerofk,

cannot*

zerofk,

How quickly they forget. Canonical added Amazon ads to Ubuntu 10 years ago. They walked it back after huge backlash, but don’t believe that any corporate-backed Linux is immune to “shittifying”.

zerofk,

Removed ‘/dev/null’. You wouldn’t believe how many things rely on /dev/null.

zerofk,

Only when writing binary or truth tables.

zerofk,

It’s also ‘its’.

zerofk,

This is a good point. Everyone harps on Epic’s exclusivity, but there are a huge amount of games that only exist on Steam. Most of these never go on other platforms, and many that do, do so only years later.

When put like this, it sounds a lot like Steam and Epic are similar. Of course the difference is that, as far as we know, Valve doesn’t pay for this exclusivity - except indirectly by visibility.

zerofk,

The article is quite hard to read. I think it comes down to this: Meta has been arguing that its Terms of Service are enough consent for data collection. European courts disagree: consent has to be explicitly given. Meta has been ignoring this ruling for 5 years now, without much consequence. Now, the EU is starting to clamp down harder - coincidentally just a few weeks before Meta will introduce a new system. In this new system users will get a choice to either consent (explicitly), or pay to use the service without data collection consent. Data privacy advocates believe this would still be illegal. However - personal opinion, not mentioned in the article - this will likely take many more years before it goes to court, let alone before it is enforced. In other words: they keep getting away with it.

zerofk,

I read your comment twice, looking for any tiny mistake to fix. How thoughtless of you not to include any.

zerofk,

She had a very tough and uncompromising stance on most things, including Northern Ireland and the Troubles. Rather than seek compromise, she increased the military presence there, which many believe exacerbated and prolonged the situation.

It is, of course, much more complex than this, but her policies regarding Northern Ireland are a large factor in why she is not remembered fondly by many Irish.

zerofk,

Don’t they yeah this stuff in schools anymore?

zerofk,

It doesn’t look burned, there’s no blackening.

zerofk,

When I switched from using the bus to going by bike, i cut my commute time by more than half. If I were to take the car, it would halve again. Public transport is great, and necessary. But it will never be faster than a personal car for anything but large distances.

zerofk,

You might want to fact check that edit.

zerofk,

Generally that rule is not checked nor enforced.

zerofk,

At the very least I’d start checking for a monster chasing them off the bridge.

Ecosia adds Microsoft Clarity and optional Google search results and advertising (www.ecosia.org)

Ecosia adds “contractually forced” Microsoft Clarity tracking (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/…/about-clarity | privacy faq : learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq#privacy), which will record the behaviour of users on the website. Recording clics, size, and more....

zerofk,

Same, plus clearing all cookies when closing the browser. Still, combining search tterms and IP is giving me pause.

zerofk,

Jesus had abandoned us. To go watch porn.

zerofk,

This may or may not be illegal, depending on what the “this” is you’re agreeing to. As a simple example, if it is “you agree to functional cookies by continuing to use the site”, that’s fine. If it is “you agree to us scraping your computer and selling everything we find to China”, that is most definitely not legal, nor is refusing service if you don’t agree.

zerofk,

They do, but they’re only used in some regions. Septante, huitante, nonante.

zerofk,

I honestly don’t know the history. I just know that Belgian French uses septante and nonante, Swiss French uses huitante as well. I think it’s more comparable to the vocabulary differences between for example American and British English.

zerofk,

Germans do love French fish.

zerofk,

It’s a feature, not a bug.

zerofk,

Indeed, this sounds like a scummy way to sell vpn. While it is true that Facebook embeds tracking in other sites, these can be easily blocked without vpn.

zerofk,

Is that you, Ezio Auditore?

zerofk,

Literal decades ago I bought Sennheiser headphones. They were great. They later orders of magnitude longer than anything I had before. They fit well, and were foldable, making them very compact when not used. And they were cheap too.

When they finally broke down I naturally wanted Sennheiser again, but they referred me to their new brand Epos. I bought a headset this time, not just headphones. It was a lot more expensive, and I was terribly disappointed by the ergonomics. It’s also rather big, making it unwieldy when not in use. And they broke already, though I was able to fix it - they broke just out of warranty of course.

Of course this is just one anecdote, but it really does feel like another great brand sold out and became crap.

zerofk,

Isn’t Dolly that sheep they cloned?

(No disrespect to either Dolly meant; the human one is a great singer. I’ve never heard the other one sing.)

zerofk,

Is yours yodelling the whole time too?

zerofk,

I’m going to push back against everyone saying that the algorithm knows. While not unthinkable, I believe it is much more likely that it is a coincidence, and what you’re experiencing is called the frequency illusion. Simply because your sexuality has been on your mind lately, you’re more likely to notice things that remind you of it - not because those things are more prevalent but simply because you, subconsciously, pay more attention to them.

That said, privacy is important and you should definitely try to maintain it - e.g. use a private browser window in a fresh browser instance to research things related to sexuality.

zerofk,

Taxibird.

zerofk,

Ever since the first release, I’ve tried Firefox a few times. Each time I was left with a feeling of needing dozens of extensions to get it up to par with the browser I was using at the time (mainly Opera and now Vivaldi). The extensions I found were never customisable enough, and would often break and/or be abandoned after a while.

Don’t get me wrong: Chrome, IE, Edge, and Safari are worse - each time I used them I got the urge to throw my computer out the window after just a few minutes. But Firefox is just not customisable enough to my liking, and extension are IMO not the answer.

zerofk,

Note that I explicitly said Chrome is worse. And “dozens” was likely an exaggeration. But yes, compared to Vivaldi, Firefox has very little customisation.

zerofk,

Note that since I don’t use Firefox some of these may actually be available, but I don’t know about them.

  • Mouse gestures.
  • A status bar that stays on screen.
  • The ability to select part of a link’s text.
  • Tab stacking.
  • Tab tiling.
  • Opening a link in either a foreground or background tab. This is available as a toggle in the settings only.
  • Ad block.
  • Spatial navigation.
  • Customisable keyboard shortcuts for pretty much everything.

These are the ones that matter to me, there are more that I don’t personally use.

zerofk,

I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al.

zerofk,

I have to say I find it ironic that all replies here are about the lane splitting too.

zerofk,

But what if AI?

zerofk,

The far left and far right are often more similar than the names imply. This makes sense when you realise they are both fishing in the same pond of disgruntled people at the fringes of society (though of course not exclusively). For many, it is more about being angry at the world than it is about standing for either ideology.

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

zerofk,

So what’s to stop them from setting all prices to 1 cent and having the rest as service fee?

zerofk,

git config alias.psuh push

zerofk,

One of the very very very few good features of macOS: cmd-click the title bar of a document window to pop up a window with the document location.

It does not work on Microsoft’s products on macOS though.

zerofk,

The points made in the article are that server admins should have policies regarding privacy and data retention, that users should be aware of this possibility, and that developers should ensure more of the users’ data is encrypted at all times.
